LAWS OF SUGGESTION
The Four P's
1. All suggestions must be Positive. The subconscious or HeartMind
can only understand positive suggestions. It needs to be told what to
do,
rather
than what not to do. "Don't think of rainbows" is the same as "Think
of rainbows." Negative suggestions not only don't work, they waste time.
2. All suggestion must be made in the Present. The HeartMind only
understands "now." Suggestions that are given for "tomorrow"
or some unspecified future date will not become active. They will stay
on hold until it is "tomorrow" or "later." The problem is that it is
never
"tomorrow", it is always "today". It is never "later", it is always "now".
Suggestions for a specific future time can be given effectively if you
imagine that it is that future time "now" as you give the suggestion.
3. The power of suggestion is increased by Practice. As the HeartMind
does not understand time, imagining something for one minute or less
can be the same as imagining it for twenty minutes. It is much more powerful
to imagine something twenty times for a minute each time than once for
twenty minutes.
4. The power of suggestion is based on Passion. Emotion is the
primary language of the HeartMind. The words and pictures
are
the steering wheel, they set the direction, but emotion is the gas pedal.
Emotion is the factor that determines how much power suggestions will
have. The ultimate power of suggestion is determined by x number of repetitions
given at Y emotional amplitude.
